He ate rabbit poop. I can't believe it. It was only a lick, but what if? I did a quick search and found a yahoo answers post that was somewhat calming, and he's not dropped dead. He doesn't even look sickly, which is more than I can say for myself. I suppose that's enough to let me wait until morning to call the pediatrician.
The first thought I had was that the rabbit must go. But I took on the rabbit with the idea that any child-rabbit interactions would be monitored (which they are) and any problems arising I would work through. I would even go the the HRS and get help if need be. I read and researched quite a bit and learned all about the possible problems between rabbits and children before getting one. I heard all about a rabbits wonderful friendly personalities (after a while) and the way they get along with cats (marvelously). The cat part is true, at least. I researched rabbit potty training techniques. Followed them as best I possibly could.
I'm left wondering if I should have gotten a rabbit though. It hides all the time, unless it's interrupting nap time for me by jumping on my face and scaring the shit out of me. It's adorable, and incredibly soft. It's got it's merits and downfalls, like any other animal. The only thing I can do is wait and see. I've taken the rabbit with a good intention and a commitment to making it work for the rabbits natural life. Rabbit lifespans are up to 10 years in captivity. So, no more poop in the mouth, please son? Try and make it a little easier on mommy.
Yeah, right.
